Bell, of Notre Dame Court, Baldwin, is also accused of failing to stay in the lane and crossing over the solid white lane marker.

The passengers were his 17-year-old son and a 15-year-old friend. They weren't hurt and were released to a friend who came to the scene, a police spokeswoman said.

Criminal charges against Bell include aggravated driving intoxicated under Leandra's Law, driving while intoxicated, unlicensed driving and failure to stay in single lane. He's to be arraigned Sunday at First District Court in Hempstead.
